!WorldState commentStamp: 'ls 7/10/2003 19:30' prior: 0! The state of a Morphic world. (This needs some serious commenting!!!!)
The MinCycleLapse variable holds the minimum amount of time that a morphic cycle is allowed to take. If a cycle takes less than this, then interCyclePause: will wait until the full time has been used up.!
